About

Port Talbot South & Margam is an area defined by its industrial landscape and green coastal margins. The steelworks dominate the view, with its complex of towers, pipelines and flare stacks forming a constant presence. To the west, the expanse of Aberavon Beach offers a long stretch of sand against the Bristol Channel.

Inland, the grounds of Margam Country Park provide a contrast, with its historic abbey ruins and deer park set against the wooded slopes. The area's character is shaped by the constant movement of materials, from the raw ores arriving at the harbour to the finished steel leaving by rail.
